Micron’s LexarJumpDrive M20 is our top choice because it provides a retractable micro USB 2.0
and a standard USB 3.0 male plug all-in-one, making it easier than ever to
transfer files between micro USB compatible mobile devices and computers. It has
an actual capacity of 14.8GB and has read Speed as 106.0 MBps, Write Speed as 15.3 MBps.
The Lexar JumpDrive M20 may not be flashy in appearance with its plain white
casing and blue plastic accents, but Micron makes up for this with helpful
features. A nice size built-in key ring helps prevent loss, and its ability to
work with phones, tablets and PCs is a huge plus. The JumpDrive M20 read
files at 106.0 MBps and wrote at 15.3 MBps, outperforming all the other
USB flash drives on this list. The JumpDrive M20 has the most
traditional-looking flash drive design of the dual-connector drives I've
reviewed. With a white, plastic body and blue slider and end-cap, the JumpDrive
M20 looks a little like a cigarette lighter, and measures 2.04 by 1 by 0.52
inches (HWD). On one end is a lanyard loop, so you can attach the drive to a
keychain. The positioning will actually make it much easier to attach than
either the Kingston Micro Duo or the Leef Bridge 3.0.
The drive comes preformatted to FAT32, so
it will work with all PC operating systems (Windows, Mac OSX, etc.), while the
microUSB connector lets you connect to tablets and smartphones. While this will
come in handy for a few Windows tablets we've seen without full-size USB
onboard, it's primarily meant for Android devices. The drive should work with
any device running Android 4.1 or higher that has USB On The Go (OTG) enabled.
While most devices come with some sort of file manager, Lexar recommends the
ASTRO File Manager App (free via Google Play). The Lexar JumpDrive M20 Mobile 3.0 drive
is available in three capacities: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. The Lexar JumpDrive
M20 Mobile USB 3.0 (32GB) is a great addition to the selection of
mobile-friendly storage solutions on the market, especially for those looking
for zippy performance over USB 3.0.
The M20
Mobile is a slider, with a micro-USB jack on one end and a full-size USB Type-A
jack on the other. There’s a button on one side that allows the users to
retract one of these jacks while pushing out the other. The button can also be
set to hold both inside the casing, where they are fairly well protected. The
ends aren’t covered though, raising the potential for lint to get inside the
jacks, especially the USB-A one.
